	Monocot temperaments equate a number of stacked fifths to some other just interval-class of the 5-limit or greater.		Monocot temperaments equate a number of stacked fifths to some other just interval-class of the 5-limit or greater.

	=== ~~High~~ accuracy ===		=== Low accuracy ===

	===~~= Schismic =~~===		=== Mavila ===
	[[~~Schismic~~]] ~~(in~~ the ~~5-limit called ''helmholtz'') has [[5/4]] be mapped to~~ the ~~submajor third~~ (~~diminished fourth, an interval of about 384~~{{c}} ~~when justly tuned~~), ~~where~~ the ~~[[pythagorean comma]] [super~~/~~sub-] now~~ can ~~act as a [[syntonic comma]] accidental~~. This ~~makes it an incredibly accurate [[microtemperament]],~~ and ~~it naturally extends to prime 19 by finding 19/16 at~~ the ~~minor third~~ (~~called~~ [[~~nestoria~~]]).		[[Mavila]] is an exotemperament that flattens the fifth beyond the diatonic range (to around 670–680{{c}}) so that the "major third" maps flatter than the "minor third", meaning that the "minor third" can be mapped to 5/4 and the "major third" can be mapped to 6/5. This has the effect of "swapping" major and minor intervals from what they are in meantone. This means that the normal chain-of-fifths interval names stop making much sense (but see in [[Mavila#Notation]]).

	~~In the 7-limit,~~ [[~~7/4~~]] ~~can be simply mapped~~ to ~~a subminor seventh (doubly diminished octave, an interval of about 973~~{{c}} ~~when justly tuned) with lower accuracy compared~~ to ~~helmholtz; this extension is called~~ [[~~garibaldi~~]]~~. In~~ the ~~>11-limit, 11/8 can be found at a hyperfourth (3x-~~augmented ~~second), and 13/8 at a hyperminor sixth (3x-augmented fourth); this extension is called~~ [[~~cassandra~~]].		=== Deeptone ===
			[[Deeptone]] flattens the fifth to around 690{{c}}, so the major third maps to [[16/13]] and the augmented third to [[5/4]], with apotomes mapped so small that they can work as sixth-tones.

	[[Pontiac]] instead maps it to a more complex triply sub major sixth (pentuply augmented third), but with practically no loss of accuracy compared to schismic. Interpretations to other primes can be found very deep in the monocot chain, as in [[ponta]].		=== Trienstonian ===
			[[Trienstonian]] is an exotemperament where the fifth is tuned so sharp that the major sixth maps to [[7/4]]. This is thus tuned best with tunings around [[5edo]] or sharper, which generate oneirotonic (5L 3s), not diatonic scales.
	==== ~~Gary & Cotoneum =~~===
	[[~~Gary~~]] ~~can be seen as~~ the ~~no-5 restriction of cassandra, keeping the maps of 7/4 and 11/8,~~ so the ~~pythagorean comma is equal to the septimal comma. Unlike schismic, it achieves far greater accuracy compared to cassandra, qualifying as a microtemperament. Additionally, Its~~ major ~~third also~~ maps ~~with incredible accuracy~~ to [[19/15]].

	[[~~Cotoneum~~]] ~~finds a way to extend gary into the whole >11-limit within monocot with only a slight loss accuracy~~, ~~though with very high complexity. It finds very complex approximations of 5/4 and 13/8 as -49 and +61 fifths~~, ~~where the [[41-comma]] now can act as an [[aberschisma]] accidental~~.

	[[Superpyth]] maps the minor seventh to [[7/4]], which suggests a tuning of the perfect fifth at around 710{{c}}.

[[5/4]] can then be mapped to the augmented second (for standard superpyth) or the double-augmented unison (for [[ultrapyth]], which also extends to prime 13 by mapping the major third to [[13/10]]).

	=== ~~Low~~ accuracy ===		=== High accuracy ===

			==== Schismic ====
			[[Schismic]] (in the 5-limit called ''helmholtz'') has [[5/4]] be mapped to the submajor third (diminished fourth, an interval of about 384{{c}} when justly tuned), where the [[pythagorean comma]] [super/sub-] now can act as a [[syntonic comma]] accidental. This makes it an incredibly accurate [[microtemperament]], and it naturally extends to prime 19 by finding 19/16 at the minor third (called [[nestoria]]).

			In the 7-limit, [[7/4]] can be simply mapped to a subminor seventh (doubly diminished octave, an interval of about 973{{c}} when justly tuned) with lower accuracy compared to helmholtz; this extension is called [[garibaldi]]. In the >11-limit, 11/8 can be found at a hyperfourth (3x-augmented second), and 13/8 at a hyperminor sixth (3x-augmented fourth); this extension is called [[cassandra]].

	~~=== Mavila ===~~		[[Pontiac]] instead maps it to a more complex triply sub major sixth (pentuply augmented third), but with practically no loss of accuracy compared to schismic. Interpretations to other primes can be found very deep in the monocot chain, as in [[ponta]].

	=== ~~Mavila~~ ===		=== High accuracy ===
	[[~~Mavila~~]] is an ~~exotemperament that flattens~~ the ~~fifth beyond~~ the ~~diatonic range~~ (to ~~around 670–680~~{{c}}) ~~so that~~ the "major third~~" is flatter than~~ the ~~"minor third"~~, ~~meaning that the "minor third"~~ can be ~~assigned to~~ 5/4 and the "major third~~" can be assigned~~ to 6/5. ~~This has~~ the ~~effect~~ of ~~"swapping" major~~ and ~~minor intervals from what they are in meantone.

			==== Schismic ====
			[[Schismic]] (in the 5-limit called ''helmholtz'') has [[5/4]] be mapped to the submajor third (diminished fourth, an interval of about 384{{c}} when justly tuned), where the [[pythagorean comma]] [super/sub-] now can act as a [[syntonic comma]] accidental. This makes it an incredibly accurate [[microtemperament]], and it naturally extends to prime 19 by finding 19/16 at the minor third (called [[nestoria]]).

			In the 7-limit, [[7/4]] can be simply mapped to a subminor seventh (doubly diminished octave, an interval of about 973{{c}} when justly tuned) with lower accuracy compared to helmholtz; this extension is called [[garibaldi]]. In the >11-limit, 11/8 can be found at a hyperfourth (3x-augmented second), and 13/8 at a hyperminor sixth (3x-augmented fourth); this extension is called [[cassandra]].

			[[Pontiac]] instead maps it to a more complex triply sub major sixth (pentuply augmented third), but with practically no loss of accuracy compared to schismic. Interpretations to other primes can be found very deep in the monocot chain, as in [[ponta]].

			==== Gary & Cotoneum ====
			[[Gary]] can be seen as the no-5 restriction of cassandra, keeping the maps of 7/4 and 11/8, so the pythagorean comma is equal to the septimal comma. Unlike schismic, it achieves far greater accuracy compared to cassandra, qualifying as a microtemperament. Additionally, Its major third also maps with incredible accuracy to [[19/15]].

			[[Cotoneum]] finds a way to extend gary into the whole >11-limit within monocot with only a slight loss accuracy, though with very high complexity. It finds very complex approximations of 5/4 and 13/8 as -49 and +61 fifths, where the [[41-comma]] now can act as an [[aberschisma]] accidental.

	=== ~~Deeptone~~ ===		=== Medium accuracy ===
	~~[[Deeptone]] flattens the fifth to around 690{{c}}, so the major third is a [[16/13]] and the augmented third is [[5/4]].~~

	=== Meantone ===		==== Meantone ====
	[[Meantone]] can be seen as the most "basic" monocot temperament, which flattens the fifth slightly to around 696{{c}} so that the major third is [[5/4]]. Consequently, the minor third ~~becomes~~ [[6/5]], and the major sixth ~~becomes~~ [[5/3]].		[[Meantone]] can be seen as the most "basic" 5-limit monocot temperament, which flattens the fifth slightly to around 696{{c}} so that the major third maps to [[5/4]]. Consequently, the minor third maps to [[6/5]], and the major sixth maps to [[5/3]].

	In the 7-limit, the augmented sixth becomes 7/4, resulting in [[septimal meantone]]. ~~Alternately,~~ the fifth can be flattened further (to around 693{{c}}) ~~so that~~ the diminished seventh is sharper than the augmented sixth. Then, it makes sense to ~~interpret~~ the diminished seventh as 7/4, resulting in [[flattone]] temperament.		In the 7-limit, the augmented sixth becomes 7/4 (often called ''subminor seventh''), resulting in [[septimal meantone]]. If the fifth can be flattened further (to around 693{{c}}), the diminished seventh maps sharper than the augmented sixth. Then, it makes sense to map the diminished seventh as 7/4, resulting in [[flattone]] temperament. If it is tuned sharper, close to 700c, 7/4 can be mapped to the minor seventh resulting in [[dominant]].

	=== ~~Schismic~~ ===		==== Superpyth ====
	[[~~Schismic~~]] ~~interprets~~ the ~~diminished fourth~~, ~~an interval~~ of ~~about 384~~{{c}} ~~when justly tuned, as~~ [[5/4]]~~. This makes it a very accurate microtemperament~~, ~~and it naturally~~ extends to prime 19 by ~~finding 19/16 at~~ the ~~minor~~ third ~~(called~~ [[~~nestoria~~]]).		[[Superpyth]] maps the minor seventh to [[7/4]], which suggests a tuning of the perfect fifth at around 710{{c}}. [[5/4]] can then be mapped to the augmented second (for standard superpyth) or the double-augmented unison (for [[ultrapyth]], which also extends to prime 13 by mapping the major third to [[13/10]]).

	~~In the 7-limit, the doubly-diminished octave, an interval of about 973{{c}} when justly tuned, can be interpreted as [[7/4]] with a small loss of~~ accuracy ~~compared to 5-limit schismic; this is called [[garibaldi]].~~		=== Low accuracy ===

	=== ~~Superpyth~~ ===		=== Mavila ===
	[[~~Superpyth~~]] ~~interprets~~ the ~~minor seventh as [[7/4]], which suggests a tuning of~~ the ~~perfect fifth at~~ around ~~710~~{{c}}~~. [[~~5/4]] can ~~then~~ be ~~seen as~~ the ~~augmented second (for standard superpyth) or~~ the ~~double~~-~~augmented unison~~ (~~for~~ [[~~ultrapyth~~]], ~~which also extends~~ to ~~prime~~ 13 ~~by setting~~ the ~~major~~ third ~~equal~~ to [[13/10]]).		[[Mavila]] is an exotemperament that flattens the fifth beyond the diatonic range (to around 670–680{{c}}) so that the "major third" maps flatter than the "minor third", meaning that the "minor third" can be mapped to 5/4 and the "major third" can be mapped to 6/5. This has the effect of "swapping" major and minor intervals from what they are in meantone. This means that the normal chain-of-fifths interval names stop making much sense (but see in [[Mavila#Notation]]).

			=== Deeptone ===
			[[Deeptone]] flattens the fifth to around 690{{c}}, so the major third maps to [[16/13]] and the augmented third to [[5/4]], with apotomes mapped so small that they can work as sixth-tones.

	=== Trienstonian ===		=== Trienstonian ===

	[[Mavila]] is an exotemperament that flattens the fifth beyond the diatonic range (to around ~~670-680 cents~~) so that the "major third" is flatter than the "minor third", meaning that the "minor third" can be assigned to 5/4 and the "major third" can be assigned to 6/5. This has the effect of "swapping" major and minor intervals from what they are in meantone. This means that the normal chain-of-fifths interval names stop making much sense (but see in [[Mavila#Notation]]).

	=== Deeptone ===		=== Deeptone ===
	[[Deeptone]] flattens the fifth to around 690 ~~cents~~, so the major third is a [[16/13]] and the augmented third is [[5/4]].		[[Deeptone]] flattens the fifth to around 690{{c}}, so the major third is a [[16/13]] and the augmented third is [[5/4]].

	=== Meantone ===		=== Meantone ===
	[[Meantone]] can be seen as the most "basic" monocot temperament, which flattens the fifth slightly to around 696 ~~cents~~ so that the major third is [[5/4]].

Consequently, the minor third becomes [[6/5]], and the major sixth becomes [[5/3]].

	In the 7-limit, the augmented sixth becomes 7/4, resulting in [[septimal meantone]]. Alternately, the fifth can be flattened further (to around 693 ~~cents~~) so that the diminished seventh is sharper than the augmented sixth. Then, it makes sense to interpret the diminished seventh as 7/4, resulting in [[flattone]] temperament.		In the 7-limit, the augmented sixth becomes 7/4, resulting in [[septimal meantone]].

	=== Schismic ===		=== Schismic ===
	[[Schismic]] interprets the diminished fourth, an interval of about 384 ~~cents~~ when justly tuned, as [[5/4]]. This makes it a very accurate microtemperament, and it naturally extends to prime 19 by finding 19/16 at the minor third (called [[nestoria]]).
